Fall 2015 Walmart Beauty Box

I received my Fall 2015 Walmart Beauty Box. The Walmart Beauty Box comes out 4 times a year and costs $5, which includes shipping. Beauty boxes are just plain fun.... especially if you are a product junkie like me. I also purchase the Target Beauty Box when it is available (it always a one-time purchase box). Note that I have adjusted my age down to the mid-20s because I read I might receive more color cosmetics if I did that, but I didn't receive any this time.

 

I'm also a little disappointed in my box this time because there doesn't appear to be a full sized product like usual. Some boxes appeared to contain a full-sized RoC Retinol Correxion Deep Wrinkle Serum, which maybe I would have received if I had left my age alone. Ha!

 Here's what was in my box:

 

 

• Simple Cleansing Facial Wipes, 7 count packet
• ACT Mouthwash, 1 fl oz
• Aveeno Positively Radiant Daily Moisturizer, .3 fl oz
• Neutrogena Healthy Volume Mascara, deluxe sample size
• Dove Advanced Care Anti-Perspirant Deodorant, sample size
• Aussie Mega Hairspray, 1.5 oz
• Schick Hydro Silk Disposable Razor
• foil packet: Biore Charcoal Self Heating Mask
• foil packet: Crest 3D White Toothpaste
• foil packet: Nivea Extended Moisture Body Lotion
• foil packet: Jergens Wet Skin Moisturizer, 2 scents

 

 

Walmart Summer Beauty Box

Sometime this summer, I received my Summer 2015 Walmart Beauty Box. The Walmart Beauty Box comes out 4 times a year and costs $5, which includes shipping. Beauty boxes are just plain fun.... especially if you are a product junkie like me. I also purchase the Target Beauty Box when it is available (it always a one-time purchase box). Note that I have adjusted my age down to the mid-20s because I read I might receive more color cosmetics if I did that. I think it worked!

 

Here's what was in my box:

There is usually at least one full-sized item in the box, and this time it was a Revlon Ultra HD Lipstick in HD Gladiolus. I actually already have one of these that I believe I got in a Target Beauty box, so I will be passing this on to a friend. (If you are local and would like this, give me a shout!)

Other samples in the box:

• Nivea Soft Moisturizing Creme (.84oz)
• Aveeno Protect + Hydrate Suncreen SPF 30 (.5oz)
• Clear Scalp & Hair Therapy Complete Care Anti-Dandruff Shampoo (1.7 fl oz)
• Neutrogena Healthy Skin Boosters Facial Cleanser White Tea and Vitamin E (.5 fl oz)
• John Frieda Beach Blonde Sea Waves Spray (1 fl oz)
• Neutrogena Healthy Volume Mascara (.16 oz)
• You & I One Direction Fragrance Spray (.05 fl oz)
• Foil packet of Ken Paves You Are Beautiful Volumizing Shampoo and Conditioner (.25 fl oz each)
• Foil packet of Jergens Natural Glow Moisturizer Medium to Tan (.28 fl oz each)

All in all, a darn good value for $5. These are fun boxes!
 

Spring 2015 Walmart Beauty Box

Sometime in late March, I received my Spring 2015 Walmart Beauty Box. The Walmart Beauty Box comes out 4 times a year and costs $5, which includes shipping. Beauty boxes are just plain fun.... especially if you are a product junkie like me. I am currently only subscribed to Glossybox and was glad to add this low-priced box to the mix. I also purchase the Target Beauty Box when it is available (it always a one-time purchase box).

 

My Spring 2015 box was better than my Winter 2014 box..... after I got that box which was full of sample packets and not much else, I read that there are two boxes and the one I received was intended for their more mature audience. I *did* just turn 41, but I still like color cosmetics, so I adjusted my birthdate down 15 years or so after getting the Winter box to see if I would get the younger box for the next shipment. I'm glad I did because this time I got a makeup item. I do think $5 is a great price to try so many new products.

 

  

My Spring 2015 box contains:

• Lady Gaga Fame Perfume (1.2 ml sample vial)
• Neutrogena Healthy Skin Boosters Facial Cleanser (.5 oz travel size)
• Schwarzkopf Essence Ultime Omega Repair & Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner (each is 1.7 oz travel size)
• Dove GoFresh Nutrium Moisture in Mandarin & Tiare Flower scent (1.8 oz travel size)
• Rimmel Lash Accelerator Mascara (full-sized product value $8.50)

There were also sample packets and coupons included. I love having travel sizes on-hand of cleansers and shampoo and conditioner. So nice when you are just going away for a day or two. This box was MUCH better than the Winter 2014 box for me!

Winter 2014 Walmart Beauty Box

Right before the Christmas craziness, I received my Winter 2014 Walmart Beauty Box. The Walmart Beauty Box comes out 4 times a year and costs $5, which includes shipping. Beauty boxes are just plain fun.... especially if you are a product junkie like me. I am currently only subscribed to Glossybox and was glad to add this low-priced box to the mix. I also purchase the Target Beauty Box when it is available (it always a one-time purchase box).

 

My Winter box was sample-packet heavy..... I read that there are two boxes and the one I received was intended for their more mature audience. I *did* just turn 41, but I still like color cosmetics, so I adjusted my birthdate down after getting this box to see if I get the younger box next time. Overall, I'm still happy because $5 is a great price to try so many new products.

 

 

My box contains:

• L'Oreal Color Vibrancy Antioxidant Shampoo, Conditioner and Instant Shock Treatment (sample packet)
• John Frieda Luxurious Volume Shampoo and Conditioner (sample packet)
• Pond’s Rejuveness Anti-Wrinkle Cream (deluxe sample size)
• Olay Regenerist Luminous Tone Perfecting Moisturizer (sample size)

Again, Get Thee to the Walmarts

I'm very very behind on my magazine reading, especially beauty mags, although I have been finding time to read US and TV Guide. I can explain my priority ranking of TV Guide because we all know it's important to know when The Amazing Race starts, but I'm not sure why it's important for me to know who Justin Timberlake is dating. Some things you just can't explain.

Moving on..... The downside of my failure to keep up with Glamour was that I was totally clueless about the launch of Dr. LeWinn by Kinerase...... a drugstore version of one of my favorite high-end lines, Kinerase. I actually just ran across it on the shelves at Walmart last week.

And here's what you really need to know.... the Dr. LeWinn by Kinerase products are budget-friendly versions of the very-very-very expensive products in regular Kinerase line.

For example, let's do a comparison.

Kinerase Under Eye Rescue

$78 for .7 oz (equivalent to $111 per ounce)

Dr. LeWinn by Kinerase Under Eye Recovery

$25 for .5 oz (equivalent to $50 per ounce)

From what I can tell, both products have similar ingredients as well as claims. I've used both and honestly love them equally. I've also been testing out the Dr. LeWinn by Kinerase Lift & Resculpt Anti-Wrinkle Eye Cream (also $25) in the evenings and am impressed with it as well.

Bottom line: I would definitely recommend stopping by your local Walmart and giving this line a try- they seem to be well-priced versions of high-quality expensive products.

Disclosure: I actually have nothing to disclose, I purchased all products discussed above myself.

Drugstore Find: Powder Brush

A few weeks ago I went north a bit to another town to check out their Super Walmart's beauty department. I had heard that Walmart was going to be stocking Essie polish, but for some reason my 2 local Walmarts weren't part of the roll out. A quick online search told me that the town next to us had them so I headed up there.

And I did find the Essies.

But..... I also found some brushes I had been hearing about, that again my local Walmart did not carry. I should tell you that I'm in a pretty big college town, and it's amazing that our does not carry these two things.

At any rate, here's a pic of the brush. It's super soft and I use it to apply my finishing powder.

The line is called High Definition, and although I can't seem to put my hands on my receipt, I do know the brush was less than $10.

It's absolutely amazing and as soon as I can get up there again I'll be picking up some more brushes from the line.
